    To taper pins, I put the pin in a pin vise, then chuck the pin vise
    into my cordless drill. The pin vise I use is the double-ended type
    where one end can be removed, exposing the threaded part, which is
    the only way it will fit in the drill's chuck. Once in the drill, the
    pin may be spun against a sharpening stone, sandpaper, etc. I've also
    spun it between rotating sandpaper discs (face-to-face) in the
    Foredom. This second method is a bit tricky at first, but not
    impossible.
